The extreme defense

The Result

Supporters might argue that Benjamin Netanyahu's ability to travel to the United States despite an ICC arrest warrant is a testament to his strong leadership and the unwavering support of allies. The defense submits that this situation highlights the complexities of international law and diplomacy.

What Trump Did

The defense might suggest that during Trump's presidency, a robust relationship with Israel was cultivated, which continues to benefit Netanyahu today. The defense admits that this relationship has allowed Israel to navigate international scrutiny with greater ease.

Why Supporters Credit Him

Supporters might argue that Netanyahu's presence at the UN signifies Israel's resilience and its commitment to engaging with the global community. The defense might argue that this is a sign of strength, not weakness.

The Supporting Record

The defense submits that the ICC's warrant does not equate to guilt; it merely reflects a political stance that can be challenged.

The Limitation or Competing Explanation

However, the defense might argue that the warrant's lack of enforcement is indicative of the complexities of international law, rather than a failure of justice.

Verdict

If this is Trump's fault, his supporters will gladly let him take the blame.
